A bitter sweet almost David Lynch alike imaginary expression. Marie has kept instrumentation simple but very effective; everything's carefully slotted in its place to just punctuate and enhance her silky, sultry voice.
In 2004 she established a recording studio in the backyard of an old house in the center of Copenhagen. While writing songs she recorded demos and invited musicians to join her in the studio. As developing the musical sound in the studio, this would be a debut album produced by herself and the drummer Jakob Hoyer (The Raveonettes).
Rune Kjeldsen (Rhonda Harris) is the guitar player and Anders Christensen (Rhonda Harris) is the bass player and has been working along in the process adding their vibe and great talents to the music. Nicolai Munch-Hansen (Kira Skov) is featured on some of the tunes playing the upright bass with his magic touch.
While working in the studio with her music, she's been supporting various artists in Denmark. She played at Roskilde Festival '05 which was broadcasted live on the national radio. In the fall of '05 she went to London performing as a duo with Rune Kjeldsen at Barfly and The Social among others. She was awarded a prize of honor as the new upcoming artist 2005 sponsored by Carlsberg. She performed at the event called "People Have The Power" among other special guests invited such as Sharin Foo (The Raveonettes) and Nicole Atkins (usa). At this concert each artist were singing a song written by Patti Smith for the benefit of Christiania '06. As part of a Saturday night program portraying the great legend Johnny Cash on DR2 danish national TV, she performed a song with Kira Skov '07. See the performance at YouTube. She also wrote a song for Martin De Thurah's short film "We Who Stayed Behind" nominated at Venice Film Festival'08. Martin is also known for his music video's (Mew, Röyksopp, Kanye West)
At the moment Marie's first single "City Lies" is on the national radio p3.
Spending a lot of time in the studio lately mixing the drone of guitars, soft tambourines, sampled beats and more, Marie Fisker's debut album will hit the streets in May 2009!

Marie Fisker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before your eyes miles yonder meet
And you bend down on your knees
Lean against your Moirae cheek
Come and dance, come and dance so close to me
Come and dance, come and dance so close to me
It's in your heart baby sing it
It's in your heart baby sing it
Mirror, mirror, falling apart
My shadow, my Doublè
My twin my other wing
Mirage, ravage the stroke
Forever coming on
See right through what you find
Stirring wheel is inside
Soon the avalanche gonna' break my heart, heart, heart
Break my heart heart heart
Co-come, co-come baby, brake my heart
It's in your heart baby sing it
Mirror, mirror, at your heart
It's in your heart baby sing it
Mirror, mirror, at your heart
It's in your heart baby sing it
Mirror, mirror, at your heart
It's in your heart baby sing it
Mirror, mirror, falling apart
Wanna' dance, wanna' dance so close to me
Wanna' dance, wanna' dance so close to me
The lyrics of "Mirror Mirror" by Marie Fisker are poetic and enigmatic, leaving room for interpretation. The song seems to be about taking a deep look at oneself and facing one's inner demons. The first stanza refers to a transformation, as "two hands turn into four hands breed." This could mean that the singer is exploring different aspects of their personality or that they are merging with another person in a dance or a relationship. The reference to "Moirae cheek" could be a nod to the Greek Fates, who spin the thread of life, in this case symbolizing the inevitability of change.
In the chorus, the "mirror" is repeated several times, suggesting that the singer is looking at themselves in a reflective surface and seeing the truth about their heart. The line "falling apart" hints at a sense of self-discovery that can be painful or destabilizing. The second stanza is even more cryptic, with imagery that is both surreal and violent. The "shadow" and the "Doublè" (French for double) indicate a split personality or a mirror image, while the reference to a "ravage" and a "stroke" could imply a physical or emotional trauma. The singer seems to be feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of their introspection but resolves to carry on, even if it means having their heart "broken" by the truth.
Overall, "Mirror Mirror" is a song about self-reflection, self-acceptance, and self-transformation. It navigates the complex terrain of the psyche, using poetic metaphors and abstract concepts to convey a sense of inner turmoil and longing. The repeated refrain of "come and dance so close to me" suggests a desire for intimacy and connection, which can only be achieved by first confronting one's own inner demons.
